Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

4

4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein a second subset of receiver-side beams comprises the receiver-side beam of the at least one BPL of the first set of BPLs.

5

5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the first subset of receiver-side beams is associated with a first antenna array of the first wireless device and the second subset of receiver-side beams is associated with a second antenna array of the first wireless device, wherein the first antenna array is different than the second antenna array.

8

8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the set of reference signals are associated with at least two transmitter-side beams.

9

9. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein a second subset of transmitter-side beams comprises the transmitter-side beam of the at least one BPL of the first set of BPLs.

10

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the first subset of transmitter-side beams is associated with a first antenna array or a first TRP of the second wireless device and the second subset of transmitter-side beams is associated with a second antenna array or a second TRP of the second wireless device, the first antenna array or the first TRP being different than the second antenna array or the second TRP.

14

14. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first wireless device comprises a user equipment (UE) or a mobile termination node and the second wireless device comprises a first transmission—reception point (TRP) and a second TRP.

15

15. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first wireless device comprises a user equipment (UE) or a mobile termination node and the second wireless device comprises a base station or a distributed unit node.

16

16. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first set of BPLs are associated with the second wireless device and the second set of BPLs are associated with a third wireless device different than the second wireless device.

17

17. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the first wireless device comprises a user equipment (UE) or a mobile termination node, the second wireless device comprises a first distributed unit node, and the third wireless device comprises a second distributed unit node.

18

18. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the first wireless device comprises a base station or a distributed unit node, the second wireless device comprises a first user equipment (UE) or a first mobile termination node, and the third wireless device comprises a second UE or a second mobile termination node.

20

20. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the first wireless device reports a third set of BPLs to the third wireless device based on the first set of BPLs.

21

21. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first wireless device comprises an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) device comprising a mobile termination node associated with a first set of receiver-side beams and a distributed unit node associated with a second set of receiver-side beams.

22

22. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the mobile termination node is in communication with a parent node and the distributed unit node is in communication with at least one child node, and wherein the IAB device is capable of the full-duplex operation with the parent node and the at least one child node.

23

23. The apparatus of claim 22, wherein the first wireless device reports a third set of BPLs to the second wireless device or to a control node based on the first set of BPLs.

24

24. The apparatus of claim 23, wherein the second set of BPLs are selected from a subset of the second set of receiver-side beams, and wherein each receiver-side beam of the subset is capable of the full-duplex operation with receiver-side beams of the first set of BPLs.

25

25. The apparatus of claim 23, wherein the first set of BPLs are associated with the at least one child node and wherein the second set of BPLs are associated with the parent node.

26

26. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the second set of BPLs are associated with a cross-link interference with the first set of BPLs that satisfies an interference threshold.

27

27. The apparatus of claim 26, wherein the first wireless device reports the third set of BPLs to the second wireless device or to the control node based on the first set of BPLs.

28

28. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a transceiver coupled to the at least one processor, the transceiver being configured to receive the set of reference signals from the second wireless device, and communicate using the full-duplex operation by transmitting or receiving via the first BPL of the first set of BPLs while also performing the different one of transmitting or receiving via the second BPL of the second set of BPLs.
